Contemporary writing from Canada and the world

And the Nominees Are…

We’ve been pretty busy here at PRISM international this past month. If we’re not busy with the 2016 Poetry and Fiction Contests, we’re writing grants for the Canada Council for the Arts and the British Columbia Arts Council, two organizations who graciously support us and make what we do here possible.

It’s also award season and we’re not just talking about the Oscars. Around this time that we get to submit our nominations for the National Magazine Awards. It was a very difficult decision this year since we’re lucky to have published some truly excellent writing by talented emerging and established writers. Below is our list of twelve nominations. Winners will be announced in the beginning of May, so we sure to stay tuned!

Who We Are

PRISM international is a quarterly magazine out of Vancouver, British Columbia, whose mandate is to publish the best in contemporary writing and translation from Canada and around the world.

The mandate of the magazine’s website is to provide a supplement to the print edition that connects readers with the literary community through author interviews, book reviews, news about Canadian writing and publishing events, and other information of interest to our readers, many of whom are writers themselves.
